A Fair Infinite Lottery
An infinity of gods collectively select a random natural number by each removing a finite number of balls from an urn in a reverse supertask. It is discussed whether this is an absurdity that indicates the impossibility of reverse supertasks.
متن کاملA Generalised Lottery Paradox for Infinite Probability Spaces
Many epistemologists have responded to the lottery paradox by proposing formal rules according to which high probability defeasibly warrants acceptance. Douven and Williamson (2006) present an ingenious argument purporting to show that such rules invariably trivialise, in that they reduce to the claim that a probability of 1 warrants acceptance. Douven and Williamson’s argument does, however, r...
متن کاملThe Preface, the Lottery, and the Logic of Belief
John Locke proposed a straightforward relationship between qualitative and quantitative doxastic notions: belief corresponds to a sufficiently high degree of confidence. Richard Foley has further developed this Lockean thesis and applied it to an analysis of the preface and lottery paradoxes. Following Foley’s lead, we exploit various versions of these paradoxes to chart a precise relationship ...
متن کاملBi- Logic Via Infinite Singletons
Bi-logic [1] describes two sides of the human thinking, the rational reasoning (asymmetric mode) and the symmetric mode, also termed indivisible mode, where any relation is symmetric and any set is infinite. In a quantum model [2], we have characterized the class of finite sets for which the membership relation can be expressed as a finite propositional disjunction of equalities, in the object ...
متن کاملMarkov Logic in Infinite Domains
Combining first-order logic and probability has long been a goal of AI. Markov logic (Richardson & Domingos, 2006) accomplishes this by attaching weights to first-order formulas and viewing them as templates for features of Markov networks. Unfortunately, it does not have the full power of first-order logic, because it is only defined for finite domains. This paper extends Markov logic to infin...
